  • Kawaramachi Tsumairi Mercantile House District

    Hyogo Tamba-Sasayama-shi Kawaramachi
    "This section of ancient townscape emerged during the construction of Sasayama Castle. The 600-meter-long street once flourished as the heart of Sasayama and is lined with merchant homes built in a style called ""tsumairi."" These old-fashioned homes were built with narrow frontages around five to eight meters wide but were extremely long and deep, and accordingly were also known as ""eel bed"" houses due to their distinctive shape. Many of the homes have been continuously occupied by residents since the day they were built, but today more and more are being remodeled as shops and other establishments. Features such as vertical timber latticework, wing walls, and short ridgepole support pillars are distinctive of Edo period architecture, and the area has been designated a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings."

Situated near the border with Kyoto, Sasayama has flourished since ancient times as a key point connecting Kyoto and the San'in and San'yo regions. The district is famous nationwide for its excellently preserved townscape consisting of the ruins of a castle built as part of the national Tenka Bushin public works system, and samurai and merchant home neighborhoods. The district has been designated a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings and has also been selected for inclusion in the 100 Historic Features of Japan list and awarded the Urban Landscape Prize (Urban Space Category).
  • Kinonebashi

    Hyogo Tanba-shi Kaibaracho Kaibara 1
    "This large Japanese zelkova tree is located a five-minute walk from Kaibara Station on the JR Fukuchiyama Line. The tree, which measures six meters around at the trunk and stands 22 meters tall, has been estimated to be upwards of one thousand years old. One of the tree's thick roots stretches across the river that flows below it, creating a natural bridge. For this reason, it is nicknamed Kinonebashi, meaning ""tree root bridge."" The tree, which has long been a symbol of the community, was designated as a Prefectural Natural Monument in 1970."

Hyogo Areas

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
